Before posting i did my fair share of searching, after looking into it alot i finally decided to remove my two back benches. There is no noticable difference as far as flex or twist but would like to re-reinforce this while still maintaing the open space of not having benches. I plan on doing some decking and was considering doing some sort of L shaped bracket from the floor to the remaining part of the bench but am not sure if this would be effective or even how to go about doing so. Any input would help and pics would be great. Thanks
